we deal with them every day, but there are times that immature people really vary... so I would like to learn how people deal with immature people. Would help if in what terms these people are immature in, like in making decisions, reacting to situations, or anything...

Dealing with immature people is great test of patience. Whenever I have to deal with such people, I have to keep my head cool. I try, as much as possible, not to allow their immature words and deeds affect me, because If I do, it will only scar my heart. Everyday, I encounter colleagues who think that our work is just another stroll in the park. They don't take it seriously. Of course there are times when I can't help it but hate them, but I have to remind myself to be more understanding. Instead of keeping ill-feelings, I try to show them how to do things properly, I provide a good example and I pray for them. I believe, in time, they'll grow as mature individuals who'd be more sensitive of the people around them.

We often find people who are immature and we feel irritating and annoying by their deeds but the best way is to avoid thinking about them and when you face any immature person just maintain your coolness and be composed.Because reacting in front of immature people results into nothing but your own loss of menatl peace.A smile is the best way to deal with immature people.My mothers sister is immature even when she is in her 60s.All the time she and her family boasts about themselves and indulge in self appraisal and lowering others down and Sometimes when I talk to their family I feel like Iam talking to a kid but then I know few immaturities cannot be cured.All you can do is pass a smile and ignore the silly acts.

Yes it is very hard to deal with immature peoples.. but i think if we try to understands them everything then we deal with them perfectly.. but that people you met very rarely.. but if sometimes this situations are happen to us.. then understanding them is the best solutions to deal with them..

Well. It is an exiting and excellent post for discussion.As rightly we face day in and day out many immature people and to deal with them is really challenging.First of we know as to who are immature people. Is it the that decides in the sense that young people are immature or people who have no experience of things in the past or the arrogant lot who refuse to learn things from the past.What ever be the type they are there and we have no alternative than to deal with them.I feel this way.. first you study them to find out if they are really innocent and eager to learn things.Such people we can deal easily and also teach or tell them how to face any situation or pity them for their ignorance.They will be eager to learn. The second type whose back ground or brought up is such that they have no experience at all.we can tackle such people by telling them our experience and experience of others for their benefit.They would also become mature hopefully during the course of time.The worst type consists of arrogant people who never learn anything and behave as if they know everything.May God give us strength to deal with any kind of immature people.

When dealing with immature people who reacts negatively without thinking in a situation, it really takes a lot of patience and patience is not really one of my virtues :) So before I can say something to hurt that person because of his/her immaturity, I'll excuse myself. Or when I'm about to lose my temper because I'm being provoke by that person's immaturity, I'll tell him/her firmly to discuss the matter when my head's cool or else I might say something I'll regret after.

Each person nature or behavior is unique and different he behaves with other person surrounded by him as per his level of thinking, so to deal with immature people it is important to understand their level of thinking and understanding capacity. To deal or to tackle with such kind of people sometimes we need to behave like them and make them to understand as per their level of thinking and make the feeling or create a feeling of realization in their mind and heart where they have been going in wrong direction of thinking, politeness of talking is very helpful with such kind of people and if the person is aggressive in nature than little harshness is needed to tackle such person , the most important thing is to find out what is going in their mind so always first try to give them a chance to speak so you can come to know what they feel and what is going in their mind ,so as per the situation it becomes very easy to tackle immature people always try to give them a word of appreciation so that it can develop the feeling and level of maturity and understanding sense in them.
